Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Los Alamos Technical Associates, Inc. File: B-421034 Date: November 30, 2022 Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., Katherine B. Burrows, Esq., and Patrick T. Rothwell, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Cody Corley, Esq., Wendy Bateman, Esq., and Tracy Herrell, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Sarah T. Zaffina, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that the agency was required to refer the protester to the U.S. Small Business Administration for possible issuance of a certificate of competency is denied where the agency rejected the protester's proposal for failure to submit required information, which did not constitute a responsibility-type determination. DECISION Los Alamos Technical Associates, Inc. (LATA), a small business of Albuquerque, New Mexico, protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. 80JSC022R0011, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for environmental compliance and operation support services. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably found the firm's proposal unacceptable, and that the determination of unacceptability was essentially a determination of nonresponsibility that the agency was required to refer to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) for possible issuance of a certificate of competency. We deny the protest.
